I recently wrote a series of columns and very short stories about a variety of subjects but noticed I had a preponderance, about fifty, that concerned romance, and that they fit into one of four categories - dating, swingers, issues, and breakups. For additional insights I recruited a dozen longer tales about adventurous men and women from my broad short story collection The Bold Investor.The new love-focused volume is titled Tales of Romance and examines entertaining but stressful problems about people merely doing what nature mandates. They seek love or companionship on dating websites and meet at work or on the phone or even at the Southern border. They date or marry and they quarrel with each other or former spouses unwilling to step aside. They tire of each other and seek intimacy wherever and however they can find it. They break up and reconcile and divorce and they do so in ways reasonable and outrageous. That's how it is in romance.This is a revised edition.

Deepening is about practices and perspectives that help consciousness deepen into itself. These work in meditation, psychotherapy, and our own contemplations. This 55-page booklet provides a practical overview of these processes along with detailed examples of how they work, whether we are using them to open ourselves or to guide others. Most of us have more wisdom and heart than we give ourselves credit for. Deepening opens our awareness to capacities we have overlooked. It's not about climbing a mountain as much as settling into a depth. It's not about conquering a beast as much as about discovering well-being that has been patiently waiting to be seen. Pure awareness-that is awareness without content-has a slightly luminous quality. It's a quiet joy we can't hold or even adequately describe. All we can do is surrender into it. Doug Kraft mentors meditators around the world. He's a meditation teacher, psychotherapist, and ordained Unitarian Universalist minister. He enjoys walks along a River in northern California where he lives with his wife and cat, and has visits from grandchildren. He has written ten books about Buddhist practice.
